Most information we get comes directly from news channels and news papers. In these times though, if we hear about immigration we often also hear about crime, poverty and problems with integration. Our views are biased.
The real information, statistically proven and integrated in a framework, giving us an idea about the reality is out there. It can be found at pages of the ministry of internal Affairs, the police, Statistics Austria or organizations such as ZARA, Caritas or Ute Bock.
